Crime Spree

Crime Spree (2003) — DVD

What happens when a group of small-time French thieves takes a job in Chicago and accidentally robs the wrong people? In this fast-moving crime comedy, Daniel Foray and his gang travel from Paris to the United States for what they expect will be a simple burglary. Instead, they find themselves pursued by the Chicago mob, the FBI, and local criminals as one misunderstanding after another turns their American adventure into a chaotic fight for survival.

With a colorful international ensemble and plenty of fish-out-of-water humor, Crime Spree mixes heist-movie action with offbeat comedy.
